Canvas, culture, and live performance — rendered for the world's most discerning collectors.
Rob Prior is an anomaly — a painter with the rare ability to work with both hands simultaneously, often with his eyes closed. The act becomes a performance; the canvas, a cinematic event.
Rob Prior's career stretches across the worlds that shaped pop culture — illustrating for Marvel, collaborating on Star Wars, and contributing artwork to Dungeons & Dragons beginning at the age of 13.

Stadiums. Premieres. Memorials. Galas. Rob's live performances turn the act of painting into a cinematic event — the canvas finished while the audience is still in the room.
A sub-orbital flight. A canvas tethered at altitude. The first artist on record to mix pigment in free fall — Rob is in training right now.
Two hands. Four minutes of weightlessness above the Kármán line. Gravity will let go, and the painting will start. The studies below are everything leading up to launch.
Astronauts, in pigment.
"If the canvas can leave the ground, painting can go anywhere." — RP
A private audience with Pope Francis — the kind of room a painting passes through once in a career.
The visit anchored a string of Vatican commissions and a continuing dialogue between Rob's work and the city's centuries of sacred image-making.
